There should be in Hollywood something called the Law of Diminishing Returns. Where . . .
the 1st film makes a profit
the 2nd film makes less of a profit
and the 3rd film makes even less of a profit.

An example would be . . .

2008 Hulk
distributor Universal
cost $150 million
box office $263.4 million

2008 Iron Man
distributor Paramount
cost $140 million
box office $585.2 million

2010 Iron Man 2
distributor Paramount
cost $200 million
box office $623.9 million

2011 Thor
distributor Paramount
cost $150 million
box office $449.3 million

2011 Captain America : the 1st Avenger
distributor Paramount
cost $178 million
box office $370 million

2012 The Avengers
distributor Disney
cost $220 million
box office $1.519 billion
end of Marvel's Phase I

2013 Iron Man 3
distributor Disney
cost $200 million
box office $1.215 billion
beginning of Marvel's Phase II

As Marvel and Disney head into Phase IV, neither have looked back. Of course, Disney has some advantages that neither Universal and especially Paramount did not have and do not have.

As Disney has taken it to its theme parks in Florida and California.

Florida's EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster. Reported to be the longest indoor rollercoaster ever built.

California's Disney's California Adventure
Guardians of the Galaxy -- Mission Breakout
and upcoming
an Avengers rollercoast
an interactive film featuring Spider-man
a Doctor Strange stage show
and maybe Avengers Tower

It has taken it to Asia with Marvel rides and attractions at . . .
Hong Kong Disneyland
Shanghai Disneyland

It has taken it to Europe with upcoming . . .
Marvel attractions
and a Marvel art themed hotel.

And it has taken it to the high seas with . . .
Marvel Day at Sea, which will continue at least into 2020 on Disney Cruise Line.

As of January 2019, the Coca-Cola Company in Germany replaced most of their popular soft drinks with sugar free variations:

Coca Cola Vanilla
Coca Cola Cherry
Fanta Strawberry
Fanta Mango
Fanta Lemon
Fanta Mandarine
Sprite
Mezzo-Mix (Coke & Orange)

They won't be produced with sugar anymore. However, for some unexplained reason only Fanta Orange (easily their worst flavored soft drink) will still be available with sugar.

In a statement Coca Cola declared "war on sugar". They don't say sugar is bad, but that too much sugar is bad. They also claim that artificial sweeteners are really not that unhealthy.

Strangely when the UK brought in a tax on drinks with a high sugar content, Coca Cola was the one company not to switch to alternatives sweeteners.

October 4 2014, Saturday morning cartoons officially ended. 

The last network station to have a Saturday morning cartoon block, the CW officially ended their cartoon lineup replacing it with life action and education shows. 



I mean, there's still some cable channels, but they do their own thing anyway and don't count.

Oranges may be a classic fruit, but they are not actually a naturally occurring one. Fact: the sweet fruits we love are actually a hybrid of tangerines and pomelos, also known as “Chinese grapefruit,” which is a pale green or yellow color.

Originally cultivated in southeast Asia, they were originally green before the skin turned orange in warmer climates

I guess they have different "strategies" for different countries. People here don't mind a sugar free version as long as they have a choice. The Coca-Cola Company didn't give any choice. Plus they are reeking of hypocrisy for still offering drinks with high sugar content elsewhere.
